IK e Foam Pro 2
What’s the difference between it and the Foam 12 thing you had before?
The only benefit for me is size. I attached a Xiaimo air compressor to my Foam Pro 12 so I have all of the benefits of the IK e Foam Pro 12 but it is a large sprayer. It's not an issue when I'm detailing at home but I occasionally go mobile so having an electric but much smaller sprayer when I'm on the go is worth the expense. This will now be my dedicated machine for wheel and tire cleaners, I'll repurpose my Foam Pro 12 by using it to apply Touch-Less and use my Multi Pro 12 for spraying APCs.
Are you concerned about leaving alkaline product in it? IK is coming out with alkaline versions of their sprayers/foamers, if they haven't already started to.
That thing is supposed to be wicked loud, what is your take?
Yikes! I think I'd be digging into the wholesalers to find buckets at that price (CC is always a bit high on costs though)My birthday isn’t for another 4 months. That’s gonna be a long wait for a crystal clear bucket and some cleaning stuff
On a serious note, have you seen the clear turquoise buckets? I’ll see if I can find a link. They’re wicked looking.
I’m glad you got a good haul on your mystery box!

Found it. I love this bucket. It’s 25.99 though ugh.
I am curious about this as well
I thought that concern raised was the material on the seals. I was wondering if you could just buy an alkaline seal rebuild kit and retrofit the regular sprayers/foamers.
Didn’t sound loud to me at all. I have zero complaints.
I actually kept BH AF in my Multi Foam Pro 2 for months during the winter before last, before I got my 12, and took it to the touchless wash with me to hit the back end of both cars before my run through the tunnel
Nope. I'm too lazy to dump out what's currently in the tank. My backpack sprayer said that it's not to be used with alkaline or acidic chemicals with the caveat that it's not recommended for undiluted chemicals. Maybe it's the same for IK. It's a 1:50 dilution ratio so it should be fine..........I hope.
I tried the 303 graphene on my car, found it unpleasant to work with and it kept leaving little graphene dots in crevices.
Been a long time since I’ve posted. Truth be told, been a long time since I washed my truck. Usual 2BM with Hyperwash, Brake buster on the tires and wheels. 303 on the trim, left the tires untreated. Collinite 845 was toast on the horizontal panels. Tried a new product I got on clearance, 303 graphene. Incredibly grabby wiping off but since a rain storm moved through three hours later, got to see the results. Won’t buy the 303 graphene again but it seems to be beading well.

That green still looks awesome. I had a similar experience with 303s Graphene product, I still have a little bit left. I did notice when I used it on the silver and white it had a darkening effect, but the spray trigger started leaking the last time I used it, which was on my wheels. I won't be buying it again either. There's other stuff that is easier to use, lasts longer, and has equal or better beading.

NiceWe are picking up some out of town company later this afternoon and the car was looking ragged. It hadn't been washed since the dealer washed it 2 weeks ago since we have had rain every day for the last few weeks. It also hasn't had a full on decon deep clean because it was still below freezing days when I took it to the dealer in early May
I decided I had time for an in the garage rinseless so I made up 4 gallons of N-914 V2, and a rinse bucket with one oz of N-914 as well
I put both Golden Sponges in as well as a few of the pink Double Flip Rinseless Towels since you guys are talking up the flat pad concept, and I still don't like the Double Flip towels for rinseless duty, even on flat horizontal surfaces
I got out the Gauntlet towels and the Amplify, filled my sprayer at 1 oz per gallon, and got with it.

After I got the roof done I opened up the garage door to get more light and started around the car.
Once I was on the vertical surfaces I saw this over the entire car after my prerinse spray down

Those horizontal ,lines are not anything I did and have to be remnants of the "hand wash" the dealer did, against my specific instructions. There is no telling what garbage soap or spray wax or whatever they used but you can sure see how haphazard their wiping was
I finally ran out of Amplify about half way through and I am glad to be done with it. I got out the ADS Adapt and tried that and was unimpressed with that as well. I got out some original NV Boost and did half and half on the hood and the rest of the front end and the Boost felt much slicker under the towel and on the paint
I finished up, gave the wheels a quick going over and pulled it out so I could sweep as much water out of the garage as I could

I have said it before, this car is BIG
It takes all my gear to get around it

It still needs a top to bottom deep cleaning
